One of my all-time favorite actors. I was surprised that he was 88 - he's always seemed to exude such youthfulness, that I would have guessed him younger. Handsome and always a really compelling performance no matter what the part. Picnic, PT 109, Charly, Three Days of the Condor, etc. He lost a daughter in 2007, and went downhill rapidly. Of course being 88 will do that, too.
RIP, Cliff.
agreed
Wow, I thought he died 10 years ago. Thank goodness I was wrong. He was really good in Charley. Very compelling.
I always associated him with my uncle Cliff for some reason. The mouth I think.
Charly was disturbing. I saw that movie as a child then read the story as a youth. He was great.
RIP Cliff
Great actor, great voice. He will be missed.
Interesting to read he was a keen aviator . . . owned and preserved several classic aircraft including an authentic MkIX Supermarine Spitfire. Ironically, he was airborne over NYC on Sept 11 2001, when the towers were struck . . . and died 10 years later, 1 day before the anniversary . . . and 1 day after his Birthday.
A fine actor and sad to see him go.
Sorry to hear this. He died one day after his birthdate. Time marches on and no one escapes death despite the WTS drivel.
I found the movie Charly very moving and disturbing. (He won the best actor Oscar for this in 1968) Last seen in 2007 as Ben Parker in Spiderman.
I saw PT 109 when it first came out and I was just a kid - I loved it, and Cliff Robertson instantly became one of my favorite actors. Sorry to hear of his death. Thanks, sizemik, for those tidbits about him and the events of 911.
Good bye Charlie sniff
